Romans 3 closes every human mouth before God and then unveils the righteousness of God in Christ for sinners who cannot justify themselves.

Kapitelkommentar öffnen

Romans 3 brings humanity to the place it most resists: silence before the holy God. Paul does not leave room for moral optimism or religious advantage. In Romans 3:10-20, the whole world is brought under sin, and the law functions not as a ladder upward but as a witness that shuts every mouth. That means the chapter does not merely criticize particularly bad people. It condemns the whole human project of self-justification. Then comes one of the great turns in Scripture. In Romans 3:21-26, the righteousness of God is manifested apart from the law through faith in Jesus Christ. God remains just, and yet he justifies the ungodly through the blood of Christ. This is not divine leniency. It is costly righteousness. By Romans 3:27-28, boasting is gone. Romans 3 matters because it asks whether you are still trying to bring something of your own to the verdict of God, or whether you have been emptied enough to receive a righteousness you could never produce.

1 What advantage then hath the Jew? or what profit [is there] of circumcision? 2 Much every way: chiefly, because that unto them were committed the oracles of God. 3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? 4 God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. 5 But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? [Is] God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man) 6 God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world? 7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory; why yet am I also judged as a sinner? 8 And not [rather], (as we be slanderously reported, and as some affirm that we say,) Let us do evil, that good may come? whose damnation is just. 9 What then? are we better [than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; 10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: 11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. 12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. 13 Their throat [is] an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps [is] under their lips: 14 Whose mouth [is] full of cursing and bitterness: 15 Their feet [are] swift to shed blood: 16 Destruction and misery [are] in their ways: 17 And the way of peace have they not known: 18 There is no fear of God before their eyes. 19 Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. 20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law [is] the knowledge of sin. 21 But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets; 22 Even the righteousness of God [which is] by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference: 23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: 25 Whom God hath set forth [to be] a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; 26 To declare, [I say], at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. 27 Where [is] boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith. 28 Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. 29 [Is he] the God of the Jews only? [is he] not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: 30 Seeing [it is] one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. 31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

Verse 3:9-20 Deep

Das Gesetz bringt jeden Mund zum Schweigen, bevor es niemanden rettet

Öffnen

Paulus sammelt das Zeugnis der Schrift, um die Menschheit jeder Unschuldsbehauptung zu berauben. Der Dienst des Gesetzes besteht hier nicht darin, eine Leiter nach oben zu geben, sondern Schuld so vollständig offenzulegen, dass Ruhm stirbt.

Wichtige Bibelstellen
Verse 3:21-26 Deep

Gott bleibt gerecht, indem er durch bluterkaufte Gerechtigkeit rechtfertigt

Öffnen

Der Wendepunkt von Römer 3 liegt nicht darin, dass Gott seine Heiligkeit lockert. Er offenbart Gerechtigkeit außerhalb des Gesetzes durch Christus, sodass Barmherzigkeit in Sühne gründet und Gerechtigkeit gewahrt bleibt, während Sünder gerechtfertigt werden.

💥 Truth

Gnade ist nicht Gottes Übersehen der Sünde. Es ist Gottes so vollständiges Handeln an der Sünde in Christus, dass jedes Rühmen für immer verstummt.

Verse 3:27-31 Standard

Glaube entfernt Ruhm, weil Rettung Gottes Werk bleibt

Öffnen

Sobald Rechtfertigung durch Glauben empfangen wird, hat menschlicher Ruhm keinen Stand mehr. Paulus’ Schluss schützt die Gnade und zeigt, dass der Glaube das wahre Zeugnis des Gesetzes nicht aufhebt, sondern in Christus aufrichtet.
